Mamotte Shugogetten/Guardian Angel Getten
Synopsis: One night, an unsuspecting schoolboy releases a female spirit from a ring-shaped artifact, and his life is turned upside-down as she takes up residence in his home. While hardly an original premise, MAMOTTE SHUGOGETTEN! manages to deliver a few genuine laughs.
Based upon the manga series by Sakurano Minene, SHUGOGETTEN is about Chichiri Tasuke, a high school student who lives alone in an expensive two-story house. One day, he receives a package containing a ring-shaped artifact from his globe-trotting father. Dismissing the artifact as another souvenir, Tasuke leaves the ring on the coffee table to prepare curry for dinner. He reads about his father's discovery of the ring in the letter included in the package. When taking a break from cooking, Tasuke is surprised to find an open portal inside the artifact. Even more surprising is the girl who emerges from the glowing portal after Tasuke pokes it. She introduces herself as Shugogetten Shaolin and informs Tasuke that since he released her from imprisonment within the ring, she will be his protector from now on.
Unfortunately, after spending a few thousand years in confines of the ring, Shao is out of touch with the modern world. She mistakes the stove for a monster and ruins Tasuke's curry dinner. She confuses a television cowboy for a real person and destroys the television (and puts a hole in the wall in the process). The rest of the first episode foreshadows the havoc in Tasuke's life as Shao and her magical servants try to perform their duty in protecting Tasuke.
